LAIii:S TAKEN FOll STORAGR

Yaklnin Hirer Withdrawn.
North Yakima. Jan. 2. Saturday
Secretary Hitchcock, of the interior
department, has ordered withdrawn
from settlement under the homestead
and timber laws 14 sections of land
surrounding I-ake Cle Klum and two
sections surrounding Luke Kachcss.
Tho lukes themselves are included
In the .withdrawal. The import of Ui
secretary's action Is that he will ac
cept the offer of the Washington Ir
rigation company to sell Its canal and
lateral system to the government for
1250,000, and will proceed with the
development of the Yuklma and Tlu-
tan projects, Involving the expendl
ture of tl, TOO. 000 in Kittitas and
Taklma counties.
All the land withdrawn Is located in
Kittitas county. The lakes form the
headwaters of the Yakima river. They
are needed as storage reservoirs. They
lie In deep, rocky canyons, and can, by
a comparatively small expenditure,
estimated at less than $600,000, be
transformed Into magnificent storage
reservoirs. By this means the waters
of the lakes will be kept in reserve
during the winter and spring months
for use in the summer, when the river
runs practically dry.

SUSPECTED
UNDER ARREST AT CALDWELL
M. J. Hoglan, Who Has Spent Much Time in That Vicinity in
the Past Six Months, Now in Custody,
Articles in nogtan's Vallsu Are Identified With Thorn Found at the Scene
of the Crime Rita of Fl Line and Oiled Paper in His PoHMearion
Tally With Particle of the llomh. Which Killed Steunenborg Hoglan
Recognised by Slieriff Brown, of Raker Connty, Ore., as a Rumptcr
Miner.
A cordon of determined and vigilant
citizens surrounds the entire town of
Caldwell. Idaho, to prevent the escape
of any person from the city whom it
may be susplcloned knows anything
of the murder or murderers of ex
Oovernor Frank Sleunenberg.
The entire official machinery of the
state Is now in action loathe work of
apprehending the criminal and it Is
not likely that the perpetrators of the
dastardly crime will long remain at
large.
Every suspicious character in the
city of Caldwell and vicinity has
naltid oi fore a committee of wutl
known citizens within the past two
days and made to give a minute expla
nation of his business and where
abouts for tho past week. Three men
who were-oeen all last week In the
vicinity were arrested yesterday, but
upon examination it was shown that
they were common tramps and were
not connected In any way with the
crime.
The entire force of state officials
and detectives is now at Caldwell and
everything that It Is possible for hu
man ingenuity to do Is being done to
capture the assassin.
Yesterday a man giving the name
of M. J. Hoglan, who bus been stop
ping at the Saratoga hotel at Cold
well, was placed under arrest and is
now held for further examination.
Everything points to the fact that he
knows something of the crime and
that he was In some way connected
with It. The Hoise Statesman of today
says in regard to Hoglan:
Officers who have been working on
clews which they hope will lead to the
apprehension and conviction of the
assassin of ex-Governor Frank Steun-
enherg, today amassed considerable
evidence, which resulted In the arrest
of one of the former suspects on the
charge of being Implicated in that
henlous affair. The man now under
arrest registered at the Saratoga hotel
about three weeks ago as M. J. Hog
Ian. The damaging evidence against this
man as given out this afternoon, are
the facts that a secret examination of
his suit case disclosed the fact It con
tained a white powder of a high ex
plosive nature, other explosive mater
lals and suK-plclous articles. In his
room were found an old overcoat,
slouch hat and fish lines. The man
habitually Is well dressed and seems
to be well supplied with money.
Sunday morning after the assassi
nation, when officers began to make
a cursory search of the hotels of Cald
well for suspicious characters, Hog
lan came to Sheriff Moseley and ad
mitted that he was a stranger, and
that If the officers wanted to question
him or had any suspicion of him he
desired them to make an examination
at once. So frank was the request,
and so natural, that the officers made
but a perfunctory investigation.
The following facts later learned by
the officers led them to suspect that
Hoglan might have had a hand In the
assassination: It was learned that the
man had been In the city some months
previous to this time and had then
registered nt the Pacific hotel as
Thomas Hoglan. During the time that
he spent in Caldwell ut that tlm;,
about 10 days, and during the time he
has been here on the last visit it has
been noticed that he had no visible
line of business.
He had become acquainted and was
on speaking terms with a number of
citizens, some of whom had conversed
with him on different topics and at
various times. None of these can re
member of his ever having spoken to
them regarding what his business
might be.
The clerk at the Saratoga hotel says
that he has always paid his bills
promptly as they came due and seem
ed to have abundance of money at all
times. The only time he ever men
tioned business of any kind was one
evening when he requested a call at
I-
IS
3 o'clock so that he could get out in
tho country to look at some real es
tate. It Is known that he never made
such a trip.
On Christmas eve Hoglan, so the
hotel clerk says, announced that a
man with whom he had Important
business was to arrive on the night
train. Hoglan met that train and re
turned to the hotel seemingly quite
worried, saying the man had failed
to come. He also met the three fol
lowing trains from the west ostensibly
to meet the man he was expecting. If
man came he did not pat In an
-A'iearanco ut the Saratoga hotel to
the clerk's knowledge.
After learning these circumstances
the officers on the case Sunday after
noon placed Hoglan under examina
tion which was carried on In the of
fice of Judge Frank J. Smith. The
man appeared perfectly cool and col
lected. He sold that he was from
j Denver and held a contract with the
Mutual Life Insurance company as
ineir representative, out that he had
j not been working nt that business for
some months. When asked his busi
ness In Caldwell ho hesitated, but fi
nally said that he was In Caldwell to
buy land. He claimed to represent
j friends who were looking for invest
ments.
Hfiglan a Miner.
Sheriff Harvey K. Brown, of linker
county, Oregon, who was present,
having been in Rotse on business and
coming from there here on the Sat
urday night's special train, upon see
ing Hoglan immediately identified
him as having been employed at some
of the mines In the Cracker Creek
district of eastern Oregon, where he
was mi officer in the Bourne Miners'
union. It is reported that the man
under suspicion has since admitted
that such was the fact.
It Is now believed that Hoglan wus
one of the bull pen victims In the
Coeur d'Alenes and that he Is well ac
quainted with miners in that camp at
present. The other day. in conversa
tlon with one of the waitresses at the
hotel, he is said to have asked her If
she knew a certain man In Hailey,
which was formerly the home of the
waitress. Upon receiving an answer
in the affirmative, he said that he
was acquainted with the same man,
and also knew his brothers in Wal
lace. He displayed, according to the
waitress, evidence of a wide acquaint
ance among the miners of the north
em part of the state.
$25,000 Reward.
In addition to the JfiOOO offered as
a rewurd for the apprehension of the
assassin by Governor Gooding in be
half of the state of Idaho, news came
today that Shoshone county has In
creased the amount by 110.000. Can
yon county has already put up an ad
ditional S1000 and will soon, as quick
ly as a meeting of county officers can
he convened. In nil probability ruise
the amount to $5000. It is certain
that other sources will soon be heard
from and that the total amount in re-,
wards offered will foot up over 26,
000. Detectives Kn Route.
Steps have been taken to get some
of the best talent in the detective line
in the country on this cose. Several
of these experts are probably on their
way here. Among these men it Is
quite probable the services of A. Mc-
Parlan, of Denvor, famous all over
the land as the man who broke up
what was known ns the "Mollle Mc-
Gulres" secret organization of Penn
sylvania some years ago, will be se
cured. Funeral Tills Morning.
Caldwell, Jan. 2. (Special.) Tho
funeral of ex-Governor Frank Steun-
enberg was held at 9 o'clock this

place.
It was the largest funeral attend
ance ever witnessed In Idaho, nearly

officials as well as all coqnty officials
in several adjoining counties; were

Curiain Clews Aro Found.
Caldwell, Jan. 2. (Special.) Cap
tain Swain, manager of Theils" detec
tive agency of Spokane, has been
placed in charge of the Investigations
to discover tho assassin of Steunen
Ijerg. Twenty-three suspects have
been arrested and put through the
sweating process. All were released
hut two, who are believed to re con
nected with the murder.
One Is a foreigner named Dumondo
Momo, who received two letters from
explosive manufacturers in New York.
He was traced by the secret service
officers of the postofflce department
to Pocatello and on to Caldwell, where
he has been for two weeks. The other
Is M. J. Hoglan one of the convicted
miners concerned In the Coeur d'Al
enc riots. Hoglan has been In Cald
well for 10 days and had asked fiteun
enberg's son when his father would be
home.
A few days before the tragedy he
was seen reconnoitering the governor's
residence. Hoglan'g room was search
ed and explosives found. The officers
are confident he is guilty, but believe
others aided. The excitement has not
abated. .
